Last year I read in the newsfeed
about
the death of a long-beaked echidna at the Moscow Zoo. I had
never heard about such an animal, so I decided to make
inquires. After I had read more details about Smol who had
lived for 18 years instead of 50, remained a virgin and died of a
chronic pneumonia in the north, I wanted to do something about
that. Since the artistic tools of our times allow us to use
time, I decided to send Smol (may he rest in peace) on a world tour in
search of his mate set to a cheerful African beat. Happy New
2016!

Frants’ “Live Cam Renaissance” pairs found video footage with live
streaming technology. Together, video streams past and present come to
fuel 5 individual audio channels. When experienced as one,
united soundscape, “Live Cam Renaissance” positions viewers between
past and present, disrupting traditional technologies of representation
and constructing a unique symphonic soundscape.
